With the Bullhorn Marketplace, businesses and technologies of all sizes can feel empowered to build repeatable, validated integrations that will enhance the tech stacks of our joint customers. Marketplace Partners are driving better business outcomes, more productivity, and better relationships for our customers.

Partner Programs

Our partner programs were designed to ensure that our customers have easy access to the technologies that will help them to enhance their tech stacks and optimize their staffing businesses. The Marketplace is the first place our customers look when they’re assessing new technologies, and we work closely with our partners to ensure that their solutions meet customer demand.

We work with all of our partners in a variety of ways based on factors like size, strategic alignment, and ability to execute. We offer partner programs for technologies at a multitude of business stages, and with a range of business goals. Each of our partners offers something different to our customers, and we encourage our customers to choose the integrated solution that’s best for their business objectives.
Tier 1 – Partners in our Tier 1 program have demonstrated the highest level of synergy and alignment with the Bullhorn offering, impressive track records with our mutual customers, and a proven interest in growing our integrated offering together. Each of these partners are essential to the enhancement of Bullhorn’s core offering and work side-by-side with our sales organization. This level of partnership requires a committed revenue share contract.

Tier 2 (Committed) – Our Tier 2 – Committed partners are strategically aligned, but are still  growing their mutual customer base or proving out their joint-positioning. These partners have a committed revenue share contract in place and are working closely with Bullhorn’s Alliances and sales teams.

Tier 2 (Non-Committed) – Tier 2 – Non Committed partners either require an alternative contractual arrangement, or their offering is competitive with Bullhorn’s core offering. These partners do participate in sales enablement and co-marketing activity, but may have lower levels of access, as described below.

Partner Sales Enablement Resources

Looking to get more involved with the Bullhorn sales team? The overview below lays out all of those potential opportunities with you. You should discuss specific participation with your Partner Manager.

Bullhorn Product Resources

We want our partners to feel equipped with the product resources and knowledge that are essential to their success, and the success of their integration.

We share all product releases via our Customer Blog. To find these, filter your blog search to “Product”, or subscribe to one of more of our blogs to get content sent straight to your inbox.

Activating & Supporting Your Integration

Our goal is to deliver an incredible joint-customer experience with our partners. To make this happen, it’s crucial that our respective technical support teams are consistently aligned, and that we’re working together to ensure that our joint-customers’ questions are answered.

Integration Validation:

The Bullhorn Marketplace Support team will use your completed validation documentation to create activation documentation for your integration.  This documentation includes a description of the integration, the steps required for activation, and a recorded demo.

Joint-Customers Activating Your Integration:

Each customer must request activation of your integration by raising a support ticket via their normal support channels. The Bullhorn Marketplace Support team will work with you and the joint-customer to activate the integration in their instance, enabling all required components of your integration.

Once the integration is live, Bullhorn Marketplace Support will notify the customer. You are  responsible for providing any required training and information about how to use the integration.

Technical Support of Joint-Customers:

As a Marketplace Partner, you are responsible for providing the first line of support for your integrated solution, in addition to any necessary information required for customer use of the integration. You are expected to answer customer questions related to either set-up or integration workflow.

You must provide Bullhorn with an email contact to which Bullhorn may direct inquiries related to your integrated service. This can be a Partner Manager contact, sales contact, or customer support contact. You must also provide Bullhorn with a senior-level support contact (email address and phone number) for any and all major support escalations.

For questions and issues that can only be resolved by Bullhorn:

You should raise tickets with Bullhorn Marketplace Support (marketplacesupport@bullhorn.com) to help troubleshoot errors, bugs, or unexpected issues with your integration. To escalate high-priority, unresolved issues, you should call in to support directly and reference your ticket number. Details about our Support lines can be found here, with regional numbers provided here.

Please Note: Bullhorn Marketplace Support will respond to your tickets from bullhornsupporttickets@bullhorn.com, but your team should NOT email this address to open a ticket. Additionally, you should not advise customers to raise tickets with marketplacesupport@bullhorn.com; this address is for partners only.

Both you and Bullhorn should use commercially reasonable efforts to: 1) respond to respective support tickets within 2 business days, and 2) respond to customer inquiries within 1 business day via phone, web-based support, and/or email support.
